hahaha thanks for rubbing it in. yeah its a real bummer for me. i really want to try getting into some sliding, but its such a hassle finding some nice steep hills. itd be nice to live right on top of a high hill.

I have gullwing alpine trucks. Not exactly sure on the measurement but I think about 9". I think they are randal clones (reverse kingpin). Will they work with a dervish?

what flex should i get if i weigh 165? what are my fellow 160pounders riding?

**montyjcm** · 03-17-2008 02:36 PM

I weigh 165 and use a flex 2. I considered getting a flex 1, but decided against it. It's all what you are looking for. Flex 1= stiffer, snappier flex, more stable. Flex 2= livelier when cruising/commuting, still good rebound and stability. It's up to you

I'd personaly go stiffer, I have a flex 1 and 2 ( I know its stupid I have both, but its a long story)
the flex 2 is really fun, but the flex 1 is just alot better feeling because the snap and you can do alot more without bottoming out.

i'm 160 and have a flex 1, it still gives quite a bit but not nearly as much as a 2 would. obviously.

**oushla** · 03-17-2008 08:54 PM

i was standing on the flex 1 at the skateshop but it felt a little stiff and they didnt have the flex 2 in. the flex 3 vanguard was feeling pretty good though. im thinking i should just flip a coin, or get fatter. dam, i need a flex 1.5 dervish!

if you ride the flex 1 in it'll give more, just depends the kind of riding you do> like my friend just got a dervish flex 2 new, and I compared the flex to my flex 2 (beaten to ####

) and his was like a worked in flex 1, and mine is like a flex 4 vanny and I only weight about 140

thanks

**oushla** · 03-18-2008 11:15 PM

you have to take the truck apart to mount it, as in unscrew the kingpin so you have the hanger and the baseplate separate, then take the baseplate and put in through the top of the cut out on the board facing down, then you screw in all in and put the hanger back together with the baseplate

no problem

**Kyletoff** · 03-19-2008 01:43 PM

Would you guys compare a flex 1 to a raine vice? Just the amount of flex not the shape or anything.

I heard the vice is snappier? also that the dervish is all around better for tricks, but the vice handles carving/carving at speed a tad better (not my opinion, never tried a vice, other peoples I've heard)
